  • Hi, Sorry too meet you here, 

    So you will firstly be seen by a consultant they will examine you and mark the area with a pen, if the feel they need too investigate more you will have either a mammogram or ultrasound first I am 38 I had a ultrasound first, then Mammagram ,, I believe under a certain age it's ultrasound first. If they think it's suspicious or something that needs removing they will put a marker in and may give you a biopsy on the day, I had mine on the day but have read people go back for this sometimes, it doesn't hurt and is very quick. 
     

    If your clinic allows take someone with you even if they wait in the car, nice too have someone around. I would allow two hours. They may give you an idea on the day as to what they think it is. It could be lots of things try not too worry. They were straight to the point with me and I had no one there too support me. I waited a week from my biopsy too results, 

    i wish you well and hope it's positive news , I hope I haven't upset you with this info xx

  • Hi thank you no its fine I wanted to know what to expect to be prepared thank you for all your information and taking your time to reply to me xx
